I could hear my fellow teammates talking like I were a hologram not good enough to even exist in their presence. I awaited my coach to release all the anger he had felt

Astronomy was the first science that interested me. As a child I subscribed to Young People’s Records. Every month I received in the mail a 10-inch 78 RPM record‚ or sometimes a package of two records. One day I received a record called "By rocket to the moon".

Without being born in a different country and having to move to a different country in the first five years of my life‚ I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

They All Look the Same When I was younger‚ I didn’t necessarily have the highest grades and I wasn’t the most talented student‚ but what set me aside from others was my desire to succeed. That desire only transpired when I entered high school. Many people would not assume that I once struggled with reading numbers and words because they all looked the same.
